  • This is the Real Birth Podcast: a safe, welcoming platform to share birth stories. I'm Lucy Hill, a doula, mother, wife and total birth nerd living in Frome, Somerset in the UK. When I was pregnant, one of my favourite things to do was to listen to birth stories. During this time I read and listened to literally hundreds and hundreds of birth experiences shared by all kinds of parents, having all kinds of births. I quickly became obsessed with the narrative of birth and the power of storytelling. I am convinced that because I was so regularly exposed to hearing about REAL birth - the glory, the mess, the trauma, the comedy, the boredom, the ecstasy - I didn't fear it, because I knew so much about what could unfold. When eventually I went into labour, my planned natural home birth turned into an undiagnosed breech and very unexpected cesarian. Of course I felt shocked. But beneath this, I felt calm and safe in the knowledge that birth can and does take twists and turns we can't predict. I had, in essence, heard it all before. I felt part of a wider collective of humans, each with stories as unique yet familiar as mine. The magic of birth stories existed not just for me as an expectant parent learning something unknown, but I also noticed the profound healing and peaceful resolution which often came from families revisiting and reflecting on their births. All of the podcasts I found dedicated to birth stories were either American or Australian, and I deeply wished there had been a bank of UK birth stories I could have mined for information, particularly when it came to NHS care which is so different to care models overseas. Since having my son in 2019 I have continued to listen to birth story podcasts, but have still yet to find a consistent, birth-story-dedicated podcast in the UK. Enter The Real Birth Podcast! Series 1 launches in early 2022, featuring a range of stories from UK parents and a variety of different birth experiences. Whether you're pregnant, on the other side of birth or just love geeking out about birth, I'm so excited for you to join me.

    EP37 Bea | Born in the car! BBA, Fast Second Labour, Long First Birth, Birthing Stool, Birth Centre
    2024/07/03
    Today's two birth stories are from Beatrice Haines, a fantastic artist living in Wiltshire. Bea has two sons, one of whom was born at a birth centre after a long and exhausting labour, and the other who arrived at the speed of light in the car! Bea's second birth happened in the front seat of her knackered old Honda Jazz just two hours after contractions began, whilst her husband was driving as calmly as possible to hospital. Bea's story is as beautiful as it is entertaining, and she has such a lovely calm energy about her, that this episode really is one of my very favourites. I'm willing to bet you'll love it too. ------------------------------------------------------------------ If you enjoyed this episode please do share it with a friend, rate and review the podcast on whichever platform you're using, and subscribe or follow to keep up to date with future episodes.

  • EP36 Hannah | Long Labour, Water Birth, Medical Gaslighting, Broken Arm, Healing C-Section Birth

    EP36 Hannah | Long Labour, Water Birth, Medical Gaslighting, Broken Arm, Healing C-Section Birth
    2024/02/14
    Today’s guest is Hannah, who shares her two births - which could not be more different from each other. Her first son was born when she was 21, and as a young mum Hannah felt she was continually ignored by the medical staff - who denied her pain relief, refused to listen when she said she felt something was wrong with her baby, and left her alone and unable to sit up or hold her baby immediately after birth. Hannah's intuition was right, as her baby was born with a broken arm, something which was continually referred to as 'impossible'. What Hannah went through was extremely traumatic, and while I don’t usually do content warnings, I wanted to let listeners know that this experience was deeply distressing for Hannah - and I think it would be very understandable for you to feel that while listening, too. Hannah’s second baby was born 8 years later by elective c-section - and was profoundly healing for her. I’m so glad Hannah was able to share both her stories with me - I hope you enjoy hearing them! ------------------------------------------------------------------ If you enjoyed this episode please do share it with a friend, rate and review the podcast on whichever platform you're using, and subscribe or follow to keep up to date with future episodes.

  • EP35 Jo | Fast Labour, Heart Defect, NICU Baby, Necrotising Enterocolitis (NECS), Surgery

    EP35 Jo | Fast Labour, Heart Defect, NICU Baby, Necrotising Enterocolitis (NECS), Surgery
    2024/01/31
    Hello and welcome back to The Real Birth Podcast! This week I chat to Jo, whose daughter was diagnosed with a heart defect at her 20 week scan. This meant she needed surgery very soon after birth, and so Jo and her husband were preparing for an induction in Bristol, where a team of paediatric experts would be on hand. However, Jo's waters broke early and what followed was an incredibly stressful journey to hospital during a bank holiday weekend, where they encountered several major road collisions and more than quadrupled their estimated journey time, all without pain relief. When she arrived at hospital, Jo was fully dilated and her baby was born soon afterwards. Whilst in NICU waiting for surgery, baby Malia was also diagnosed with NEC, a serious bowel disease. Jo shares how the support of other NICU parents and people who had children with heart defects was invaluable to her - but is also very honest about her ongoing trauma from those weeks and months in and out of hospital with her little girl. Malia is now a very happy and healthy little girl - and it's wonderful to hear Jo talk about her. I hope you enjoy listening as much as I did. ------------------------------------------------------------------ If you enjoyed this episode please do share it with a friend, rate and review the podcast on whichever platform you're using, and subscribe or follow to keep up to date with future episodes.
